INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS
JUSGO KNEE SCOOTER
The JusGo Knee Scooter can be a safe and effective device when used correctly and carefully. To avoid injury,
please follow these instructions for the fitting and proper use of the JusGo Knee Scooter. We recommend
using the JusGo Knee Scooter on safe terrain and maintaining slow and cautious speed. Avoid negotiating
stairs or curbs while using the knee scooter as this may result in serious injury.
INSTRUCTIONS and TIPS FOR SAFE USE
●
JusGo Knee Scooters should always be used in the manner it was intended for: as an alternative for
crutches, not as a stunt bike or leisure bike.
●
The knee of the ankle or foot requiring support should be placed on the knee rest. This device would
not be appropriate for a knee injury.
●
The uninjured leg is used to propel the device and the handlebars are used to steer the device.
●
The brakes are located just in front of the right hand on the handlebar and are used to slowly stop the
device when moving or engaged when mounting or dismounting the scooter.
●
Always take short steps and avoid over striding with the uninjured leg.
●
The knee scooter should never be used at high speed in any situation.
●
Never attempt to make a right or left turn at high speeds as this will result in the knee scooter tipping
and could lead to serious injury.
●
The tires and all locking mechanism should be inspected regularly and fully locked before use of the
scooter. Failure to do so can result in the sudden slippage of the seat or handlebars and can result in
serious injury.
ADJUSTMENTS/CUSTOM FITTING
●
Stand next to the knee scooter and place the knee of the injured leg into the knee rest.
●
Adjust the knee rest height with the lever just under the front of the knee rest. This can go up and
down; down requires firm downward pressure/weight applied. Adjust to a comfortable height, usually
where the standing leg has about a 20 degree flex.
●
Check and adjust the black quick release clamp (right side) of knee rest stem. Releasing this can allow
for further height adjustment where needed. Make sure this clamp is tight and secure before using.
●
The handlebars may be raised or lowered to a comfortable height, with the black quick release clamp.
Adjust to a comfortable height, usually with a relaxed bend in both elbows.
●
After making any adjustments, check carefully that the quick release clamps are both tight and locked
securely.
WHEELS/TIRES
:
●
Tire pressure should be maintained between 35-40 psi. If you get a flat tire, you can call us right away
and we will arrange repair. Or, if you have access to a pump with precise measurements, please
re-inflate to 35-40 psi. Over-inflation could cause the tube to pop and cause injury.
